Both his brows furrowed in confusion at her sudden change in behaviour, and as she seemingly stormed off, he wondered what he had done to anger her so. His heart sank, his foolish actions had hurt her, done something that made her think differently of him. Yet he wanted nothing more than to hold her and kiss her and make all her worries go away. But he knew that it was not his place, or so he assured himself.
“Aurelai!” he called, perhaps the first time in centuries he had used her name, called in desperation as he used his powers gifted by Autor to almost appear in a flash before her, grasping her upper arms in a firm grip, just a fleeting moment before he embraced her, praying that she would not resist him or try to get away. Whatever it was, he wanted to make it better.
“Please, please don’t keep what’s on your mind from me.” He pulled back, still grasping at her slender arms, seeking out her eyes desperately. “We always share what is bothering us. Don’t let that change. Tell me what’s wrong… tell me what I’ve done was wrong so I will know not to do it again. Tell me that it was right, that it made your heart choke like it did mine… tell me something, anything. Just don’t run from it.”

And now she felt like crying. (Maybe it was that time of the month?) But she didn't, thankfully, give in to this latest upheaval in her spirit. Though she wanted desperately to cling to her indignancy she knew that she couldn't stay angry at Doso for long and his pleading tone made it impossible for her to feel anything but sympathy and genuine comradery. He was pouring his soul out to her; she couldn't be angry! And yet she was as lost as ever as to how she should respond. Kissing him hadn't worked, and what did that leave? Explaining how she felt about kissing him? But it was such a mixed bag, and felt so much better before there was anything desperate or emotional attached to it.
"I can't tell you what to think," she began, diplomatically, the way she was trained. But then that broke down and she went on with more genuineness. "But it's very impolite to kiss a girl and tell her the next minute that you regret it!" And that gave as much away about her feelings as anything, though she didn't come right out and say it. She merely chided him, as was her way. She hoped he understood. They were too old a pair to fight over something as silly, and delightful, as this.

“I did not-do not regret kissing you,” he offered, still making sure she was looking at him. “I would do it a thousand times over Aurelai. I do regret taking advantage of a situation however, for I am only your advisor. I, in all honesty, do not believe that I am worthy of those lips, of your affections.”
Since they were getting personal on the subject…
“I respect you far too much… I never thought I would be foolish enough to act on those feelings, those thoughts. I guess you brought out the silly young boy in me.” He gave a small smile, and his mind sent out gratitude for her bringing it out of him. He had not felt that exhilaration of life in far too long. “I forgot what it was like to truly feel.”

Aurelai tilted her head at Doso. "But you are not only my advisor," she reasoned with him, shaking her head. "You're my dearest friend. Who should I kiss if not you?" she asked. She stepped nearer to him, looking up at him with that expression of vulnerability that had probably frightened him before, but there was a mark of strength and purpose to her eyes, too, which was unmistakable. "If you really respect me, you'll know that I am well acquainted with my own mind, and I rarely do anything that I am uncertain about. So when I kissed you..." She reached out to touch his cheek, allowing her thumb to trace his bottom lip before she raised her blue gaze to his eyes once more. "I meant it." She reached up and kissed him again, lighter now, only a mere peck compared to the kiss they had shared earlier. Was he still frightened? Or did he accept her decision? They may be school children feelings, crushes and innocence and playfulness, but she was no longer a little girl. She kissed him with the presence of mind of a woman.

His self doubt released its grip on his heart and mind, each moment like a long finger, uncoiling from its fist tight grip on him until he was let go, and there was nothing but the slowly fading darkness and her, glowing like a higher being. He allowed her lips to grace his, accommodating her but making no move to intensify it, nor end it. It was not a kiss of lust driven passion, but one of longing and contentment, kissing merely for the feeling that it created in their minds, the way it washed away the worries and the real world until there was nothing else to think about but the other’s lips.
“We really should get back inside,” he murmured against his lips, though his words betrayed his actions as his lips meshed against hers once again. Like someone who had not tasted the finest and most favourite food in centuries, he relished in the action of it, like he was learning how to do it all over again despite being quite adequate at the motions that made up a kiss. “It’s getting early,” he spoke again, trying to convince himself to stop. “And I’m likely to stand here and never let you go if you don’t tell me to get a hold of myself,” he added on with the slightest of laughs.

She smiled at his laugh, at their easing back into something familiar and close, without this wall of unbidden emotion between them. His kisses felt just like the heat of dawn stealing over the chill air of the evening, pleasant and steady but without rush or hurriedness this time. "No, you're right," she responded, before giving him a soft kiss of her own, mimicking the way he spoke between brushes of lips together. "We should go back." She kissed him, and then backed up, her eyes sparkling with a very soft tease and deep affection.
"Just so long as you promise me you will try to kiss me again tomorrow."
